More Good Old Stuff, a classic collection of short fiction from crime
writer John D. MacDonald, the beloved author of Cape Fear and the
Travis McGee series, is now available as an eBook. The companion to
The Good Old Stuff, this anthology features fourteen more early
stories by one of America’s premier authors of hard-boiled noir.
Culled from the hundreds that John D. MacDonald published in the
wildly popular pulp magazines of the 1940s and ’50s, these are
electrifying tales of murder, corruption, intrigue, and revenge: a
serial widow making a fortune by murdering her husbands . . . an
amnesiac being watched by the mob . . . an ex-cop trying to crack the
case that nearly wrecked his life. All are told through MacDonald’s
vivid language and taut storytelling—the hallmarks of a writer who
holds a distinguished place in the popular canon. This collection
includes “Deadly Damsel,” “State Police Report That . . . ,”
“Death for Sale,” “A Corpse in His Dreams,” “I Accuse
Myself,” “A Place to Live,” “Neighborly Interest,” “The
Night Is Over,” “Secret Stain,” “Even Up the Odds,”
“Verdict,” “The High Gray Walls of Hate,” “Unmarried
Widow,” and “You Remember Jeannie.” Features a new

tomb of Tutankhamen.”—Kurt Vonnegut “A master storyteller, a
masterful suspense writer . . . John D. MacDonald is a shining example
for all of us in the field. Talk about the best.”—Mary Higgins
